The book was so good I stayed up past my bedtime. Once again I love the idea of mixed powers and magic. Root and Arthurian powers mixed together just tickles a part of my brain.

I had to recap the other previous books before I started, but I was still a bit confused when I started. This is a long book that has the introduction of a few new characters. I would say I enjoyed this more than the 2nd book; which I found to have a middle book syndrome.

Bree's actions in the book were annoying at times; but she lost her memory. She's actively learning from someone who she knows is considered dangerous - and she knows this so I bly her a lot of things. I enjoyed the multiple POVs, being able to see inside the heads of different characters is always fascinating to me. I was very annoyed with Sel in this book; IDC what anyone else says!! I wish the Alice situation would have been moved further along but I honestly forgot about her for most of the book.

I listened to it on audio and e-book. I think switching back and forth gave me a different opinion than a lot of the other ones I've been seeing around. I did not think the book was slow. I thought it unfolded well to connect all the pieces together. I was chomping on the bit to see what would come next. I am excited for the next book.
